I think you will find that since the crossovers at Merrion have gone missing this is going to cause serious problems between Lansdowne and Booterstown as well. They won't say where the fault is

[Mark Gleeson]

Once again we exposed Irish Rail's inability to tell the truth

Dublin Bus are accepting rail tickets.

The lack of clarity in any of these communications is a joke.

DB are accepting rail tickets? Old rail tickets? Rail tickets from abroad?

What Rail tickets are they accepting? Are they accepting rail tickets to Howth or Maynooth?

Secondly, if DB are accepting rail tickets then why not tell the less clairvoyent which DB routes to get to their destination. There is no reason for the laziness, it takes less than 5 minutes to get a decent announcement the first time.

E.g Customers for Blackrock can get a 4, 7 or 45 from Nassau St..

Customers for Dun Laoighre can get ....

Customers for Dalkey can get a 46A to Dun Laoighre where they can change for a 59.
